Cocu's post-match thoughts

The Derby boss spoke to Sky Sports after the match, here is what he said:

“We started well with plenty of energy. We tried to get the ball down and play. For me the key moment is the fall on Waghorn. I think it’s a penalty and if we go 2-0 up the game is different.

“These key moments are decisive in us not getting the win. It’s frustrating but I thought the players were great and I’m proud of the way we played. We tried to play football and I cannot ask for anything else.

“We showed to the fans that’s what we want.

Derby’s wait for a home win under Cocu goes on after Cardiff draw

Derby County’s wait for a home win under Phillip Cocu goes on after they were held to a draw by Cardiff City tonight.

The Rams may feel they had the chances in the second half to take all three points, but it was a point they had to settle for in a 1-1 draw.

Jack Marriott hit the bar and Martyn Waghorn came close on two occasions after the break, with Alex Smithies producing an excellent one-on-one save in one of those instances.

Cardiff remain winless on the road after the result, with Robert Glatzel’s first-half penalty earning a share of the spoils after Scott Malone had put Phillip Cocu’s side ahead early on.

It leaves Derby without a League victory since their opening weekend success over Huddersfield Town.

There was a first Rams appearance since January 2018 for Chris Martin late on – but his introduction couldn’t inspire a winner.
